A simplified self learning system for the Mandolin with tuning instruction, song folio, chord diagrams, sheet music and PDF for printing. By ZARH MYRON BICKFORD

This Study is for the purpose of fixing the names and location of the notes thoroughly in themind. It is suggested that it be gone through with once without the instrument, merely naming-each note aloud. It may then be played, still naming the letters aloud, after which it should beplayed again, counting very steadily to each note. It is not necessary to play it rapidly.but itmust be practiced so thoroughly that it can be played without any hesitation.

Should it be necessary to look up any of the notes, they can be easily located by the use ofthe table, just above. The names of the notes and the fingering have been purposely omitted.
